What better time to try a new sex position (or 3) than Valentine’s Day, I always say!

The Spoon. This is done in the typical “spooning” position where you slide into your partner from behind (or vice versa). This can create a totally different sensation to typical intercourse. For added kink, have the spoonee (as opposed to the spooner 😉 ) spread their legs open as wide as they can with their legs wrapping around the spooner’s body (as is comfortable; this may take some flexibility!). For a more tantric style, keep the traditional spooning position and go as slow as you can.

Heart to Heart.This position is basically a fun version of “Woman on Top.” For added kink, do it backwards AKA reverse cowgirl otherwise, for a more tantric feel, rock slowly into one another with your arms wrapped around one another. If you want to avoid reverse cowgirl, you can add some intensity to the basic “woman on top” position by also having your partner on bottom bend their knees to slightly lift you; this will tilt your pelvis slightly downward for a unique sensation as well. Again, do what’s comfortable for you both!

Swept Off My Feet! This is a more advanced position, but if your partner (or you) has the strength to lift you up for an extended period of time, this could be really enjoyable! Basically, they (or you) lift you off the ground and you wrap your legs around their waist. For a more tantric style, go very very slow and make eye contact. For a kinkier style, do the position against a wall.

You may not know, but most of the sex toys on the market today are manufactured in China. Because of this, many toys are able to be sold at low prices, but what you may not know (or maybe you do) is that these toys are also poor quality, may not be safely regulated for quality and safety assurance, and may not be made with the same care and artistry that goes into the American made Tsx Toys brand that we carry in our shop. A lot of brands on the market today might claim to be made in America, but what they really mean is made in China, assembled in America, and distributed everywhere. These brands are not necessarily bad, but their marketing can be really misleading to consumers.

One big reason we carry a lot of Tsx Toys is because they truly are designed, created, and manufactured here in the United States. They’re an American made company through and through, supporting the economy and supplying jobs to other Americans. When you buy products from companies that manufacture in China or elsewhere, you’re essentially taking money out of our economy’s pocket and putting it in someone else’s. When you purchase from American companies, that money will help to build the economy back up, fuel jobs for Americans, and come full circle in supporting the people.

You might think that Tsx Toys has only fetish and niche toys because that is mainly what they are known for, but they also have an extensive line of more classic dildos, small plugs, vibrating dildos, and toys for women and couples as well as the more kinky designs, of course!

So, the next time you’re thinking of buying a sex toy from China or a Tsx Toy from our shop, you may want to choose the latter and support an awesome high quality product that not only supports your safe {& naughty} sex life, but also supports your country, your economy, and maybe even your neighbor

You can learn more about Tsx Toys as a company, their history, and their high product standards on their website TsxToys.com.

Everyone loves a good climax, amirite?

That being said, some are better than others and there are a few things you can do to ensure that every climax is as intense as the next!

SLOW DOWN! The biggest way to kill your climax is by rushing through to the end result. Slow down! Enjoy the moment and remember to bask in the pleasure of each touch, kiss, caress ( or spank, as it were ), and really feel the pleasure given to you from your partner and vice versa.

Take Your Time. Again, take your time with pleasuring your partner and receiving pleasure. Enjoy every sensation and kiss. It’s understandable if you get caught up in the heat of the moment, but try to remember that it’s not a race and to slow down and really feel every single stimulation.

More Foreplay.This is a big one. Adding in more foreplay will help to build the intensity up for all partners. When giving pleasure, remember that you’re giving pleasure to someone special who you want to enjoy themselves and, in reverse, while you are receiving pleasure from someone, enjoy that as someone is giving pleasure to you. Take your time, play around with things, and enjoy yourselves without rushing.

Different Positions ♥Trying out different positions will add an entirely new element to your erotic experience. Each position lends you and your partner different sensations and varied stimulation so everything doesn’t just feel the same the entire time. I highly recommend trying out a bunch of different ones until you find your favorites!

Today’s post is a bit of a history lesson which I thought would be fun since many sexual practices, tools and toys have been around for literally thousands of years.

Take the Condom.

Did you know it’s been around since Ancient Egyptian times?

It was first seen depicted during this time in which Egyptians would wear linen sheaths. Historians hypothesize that it was mainly worn to prevent disease, but also could have been involved in various ritual practices during that time.

Later, in Europe around 100-200 AD, cave paintings depicted the use of sheaths or condoms in France.

Widespread Use & Spermicide

In the 1500’s, linen sheaths were utilized in a much more widespread manner in order to prevent disease after an Italian man, Gabrielle Fallopius, conducted experiments on over 1,100 men and found that use of the sheaths prevented diseases such as syphilis. Later, it was also discovered that the sheaths helped prevent pregnancy as well. In the late 1500’s was also the first time that these linen cloth sheaths were sometimes soaked in chemical solutions and set out to dry and can be referenced as the first use of spermicide.

Condom is the Word.

The word condom was not actually used to refer to these linen sheaths until the 1700’s and, it seems, no one is quite sure why, though there are many rumors and suggestions. In the mid 1700’s, condoms made from animal intestines became available, but they were very expensive and often re-used. Condoms became very popular in London in the later 1700’s and were even advertised in storefronts.

In 1844, the face of the condom changed forever when Hancock and Goodyear discovered rubber vulcanization and condom manufacturing was revolutionized. Condoms were then able to be made as thin, but strong elastic rubber sheaths that could be manufactured quickly, cheaply and effective for contraception and disease prevention.

In 1861, the first condom advertisements were published in the New York Times, but later in 1873, The Comstock Law was passed which made it illegal to advertise any sort of birth control and allowed US postal workers to confiscate condoms sold through the mail.

Liquid Latex.

In the 1880’s, the first liquid latex condom was produced, but they aged very quickly and were not of the best quality.

In the early 1900’s, a movement preventing Americans from using condoms resulted in over 70% of American WWI troops returning home with STD’s. By WWII, the American Govt. changed tact and aggressively promoted the use of condoms to prevent another STD issue among soldiers.

In 1919, Frederick Killian began hand-dipping from natural rubber latex to produce condoms that were thinner, odorless and far more long lasting.

1.5 Million Condoms Made Per Day.

By the 1930’s, the largest condom manufacturers in the USA were producing 1.5 million condoms per day.

In 1957, the very first lubricated condom was produced by Durex in the United Kingdom, but despite this great leap in the condom revolution, the 1960’s felt a decline in condom usage and an increase in free love (without protection) and the use of the pill, the coil and sterilization.

Condoms Are Available Everywhere.

With HIV/AIDS in the 1980s, condom use skyrocketed once again and the sale of them became widely available in grocery stores, bars and other convenience stores.

Variety Is the Spice of Life.

The 1990’s showed a boom in condom variations with more options than ever. Condoms were made in varying sizes, colors and became thinner than ever before.

Today, condoms are available with a variety of textures (ribbed and studded), colors (including glow in the dark ones!), flavored and even a special condom made especially for women. There are now alternative options for those allergic to latex made from polyurethane and lambskin.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner so you’ll want to have an awesome plan of action for the naughtiest gift {preferably one of our naughty sex toys!}, a delicious dinner with dessert, and plenty of fun kink to go around! For this reason, we’ve come up with some great tips, tricks, and ideas to make this Valentine’s Day the best one yet, no matter if you’re single and mingling or in a relationship.

With the new year, everyone wants to get in shape for upcoming summer and, personally, I’d like to make that as painless and seamless as possible. For this reason, I thought it would be brilliant to give you guys some fun tips on how you could burn calories while doing the deed that way you can maximize your calorie burn (if you have a separate workout routine) or otherwise use the tips to formulate a sexy workout plan all your own.

Kissing Counts ♥Depending on how intensely you’re kissing, you could burn anywhere from 90-120 calories an hour! Kissing can add onto the overall calorie burn of sex, make it more intense, and allow you and your partner(s) to experience more pleasurable and intense orgasms.

Have Enthusiasm! Of course, most people having sex are enthusiastic, but if you feel tired, that extra calorie burn might encourage you to put your full effort forward!

More Foreplay Fun.Some people skip out on foreplay and want to get to the main event rather than spending time pleasuring one another, but I implore you all to see reason and, if not reason, then see the benefits of endurance training! And, it’s always important to think of pleasuring your partner(s), if not for calorie burn, then to bring them enjoyment and orgasmic fulfillment.

Try New Positions.New positions, namely the more awkward and difficult ones, burn the most calories. Up against the wall, the wheelbarrow, and others which force you to keep yourself upright strengthen the core, tone arms and legs, and of course, feel great too! For exactly how many calories you’re burning and which burn the most calories, check here and here.

Be Consistent.Like any workout, for it to have an effect on your body and weight loss goals overall, you need to do it often! Now you don’t need an excuse to get down 😉

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought it would be fun to come up with some naughty date ideas that would not only be a blast, but also will cost you very little or nothing depending on how you execute it.
